Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder at the 1986 Grammy Awards.

Did you know that Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder previously collaborated on a song called ‘Just Good Friends’?

Jackson and Wonder recorded ‘Just Good Friends’ together for the former’s ‘Bad’ album in 1987 and it was never fully released as a single in the US. However, that wasn’t the only collaboration that the famous pair crafted during the 1980s.

Wonder was also one of the featured acts on Jackson and Lionel Richie’s iconic charity single, ‘We are the World’, in 1985. The pair reunited again in late 1987 for Wonder’s ‘Get It’ from his ‘Characters’ LP. Listen to ‘Just Good Friends’ below:

   This was one of the best duets MJ ever did. It trumps “The Girl is Mine”. Stevie surprised MJ on stage while doing a concert in Australia. They sung this song. Hopefully the footage has been found and one day we can see it if not on Bad 25.

   The Grammys nominated “Get It” for Best Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group but this is the song that should have been nominated. The vocals and harmonies are some of the best they ever did.
